This 17-Year-Old Just Destroyed Congressman Rubio On Live TV With A Single Question

Regardless of where you stand on the issue of gun control after the Parkland school shooting massacre in Florida, it's difficult to deny that there have been a number of people who've resorted to pretty much bullying teenagers for voicing their opinion.

Like when Dinesh D'Souza thought it'd be a good idea to mock kids who were still reeling from a national tragedy where 17 of their classmates were murdered.

There's also a large number of people accusing students at the school of being crisis actors to bring attention to talks of more stringent national gun restriction laws in the United States.

THIS CONSPIRACY THEORY IS INSANE. Our kids know David Hogg. My wife and I know his mom, who taught at our kids' elementary school before they moved to Florida. Although David is very articulate, he is not a crisis actor.

So basically we're living in an early '90s movie where kids rule and adults drool right about now, a point that's only been furthered by a recent interaction between 17-year-old high school student Cameron Kasky and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

In case you don't remember Rubio, he was famous for a GOP comedy act against Trump back when he was gunning for the Presidency.

His stand-up routine didn't work out too well for him, he lost the GOP nod, and now he still represents the state of Florida and its constituents. Which is why he showed up at a CNN town hall to address the growing concern the residents of the Sunshine State have with gun control and what he intends to curb mass shootings on his turf.

For Kasky, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting survivor, he only needed to ask a simple question: will Rubio continue to take money from the NRA?

Many political commentators have warned about the dangers of political lobbying, where corporate interests are able to influence government agendas and laws, because our representatives are so easily bought.

Marco Rubio decided to attend this town hall and is taking these hits not because he cares or is somehow empathetic, he sees this as an opportunity for future votes. Lest we be fooled for the 400th time. Never again. #StudentsStandUp

While others pointed out that there's a clear distinction between supporting the 2nd amendment and taking money from the NRA.

Dear @marcorubio,You just said you won't promise not to take more money from the NRA because you support the Second Amendment? The NRA is NOT the Second Amendment. The NRA is a gun manufacturer's lobby. May that clip run 24/7 in your opponent's ads. Bye, Rubio. #CNNTownHall
